Next, Jenna WolfeNBC's Today show correspondent took the stage, and shared her personal story of how she jumped the gender barrier in the world of sports broadcasting.
Wait, jumped, might be misleading.
An amazing storyteller, we all laughed as she recounted her experience, crawling on hands and knees in the crowded men's locker room to interview Sixers player Dikembe Mutombo.

"Be aggressive.
Fight for your right to be where you want to be, when you want to be there, and don't take any other answer besides "yes".
And, also, be careful about crawling around men's locker rooms.
I listened to Jenna and was inspired.
Inspired to be a better storyteller.
Inspired to power over the obstacles in my way, and then she said:
